... the system. It’s the third time in a little more than a week that Metro has provided heightened service to accommodate special events drawing significant crowds. Metro ran rush-hour levels of service for 17 straight hours on Inauguration Day. The agency also ran additional trains on the day of the Women’s March on Washington, which ended up resulting in the second-highest subway ridership in Metro’s history — about 275,000 trips were taken by 11 a.m., with a little more than 1 million trips taken throughout the entire day. On Monday, Metro announced that it  would add trains to the system to help manage crowds at the March for Life, which it has done in previous years.

Utah's First March For Life To Coincide With National Event

... with some of the early indicators coming from the Trump White House. She praised Trump's personnel decisions, as well as his decision this week to revive a policy first implemented in 1983 by Ronald Reagan which will prevent U. S. funding from being used to support abortions abroad. With a Republican Congress and a president who seems to be in their camp, Mancini said "enthusiasm is definitely higher this year than normal.". Filling a void. Utah’s March for Life engagement began accidentally last year when Deanne Holland, a mother of five from Highland, tried to find out how to attend an event in Utah and found nothing. The national March for Life was scheduled. Most other major cities and states had local marches scheduled, but Utah had nothing. Holland contacted Pro-Life Utah three days before last year’s March and put together a makeshift effort on the fly, ultimately mobilizing just 35 people. This year, their hopes are much higher.

... he never thinks about the case. To his mostly minority constituents, who have elected him nine times, he's a strong black man who rose from the Jim Crow South to champion racial equality in Dallas. To his critics, he's a race-baiting, power-hungry opportunist whom they convicted of corruption in their minds years ago. You definitely can't call ex-Dallas councilman Dwaine Caraway a political 'lightweight'. Thousands of anti-abortion protesters walk past the front of the U. S.

Today In Conservative Media

... managed to do more to reinvigorate the pro-life movement than the entire Republican Party in the entire four decades since Roe v. Wade. This fact becomes even more glaring when one considers the the skepticism with which some movement conservatives met Trump’s pro-life comments on the campaign trail. Simply put, many of his opponents thought he was lying in an attempt to dupe Evangelical voters into supporting him. Conservative website Townhall called Trump’s support of the pro-life movement “a welcome departure from the previous administration's parade of callous insults (‘war on women,’ legal fights with nuns) against the majority of Americans who value unborn life and conscience rights.”. The National Review focused on the marchers’ cause instead of Trump’s support. It made the case against abortion with an animal metaphor. If you were in charge of a nature preserve and you noticed that the pregnant female mammals were trying to miscarry their pregnancies, eating poisonous plants or injuring themselves, what would you do? Would you think of it as a battle between the pregnant ...

About 30 women, almost all Hispanic, stood across from the Supreme Court , singing prayers in Spanish. They were from a handful of parishes in Miami. Unlike the Wisconsinites and Michiganders, where the youth groups were the hub of organizing, this was a group of adults, originally organized by Rosa Zuleta, a parishioner at Mother of the Redeemer parish. The women had all met praying outside abortion ...

He referenced Ronald Reagan’s famous command to USSR dictator Mikhail Gorbachev, when the American president stood by the Berlin Wall in 1987: “Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!”. “And in the words of Reagan, to paraphrase the great pro-life president, let me say to the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court: Justice Roberts, tear down this law!” stated Metaxas. “Here’s something else for Twitter: Roe v Wade is anti-science,” he said. “If the DNA of the baby in the womb is different than the DNA of the  mother how can it be the mother’s body we’re talking about?”. Science “today more and more and more and more — and it’s why there’s so many young people here — says that that is a person in the womb. We need to get real and stop pretending it is anything but that.”. Metaxas, who has written a biography of Dietrich Bonhoeffer, referenced the Lutheran pastor executed by the Nazis, when he spoke of post-abortive women. “Dietrich Bonhoeffer ...
